Life could be funny sometimes! I used a proper nation/race - Scotland just like Biafra and Odua nation as a typical example, u faulted it but only for you to turn around and used peoples' disabilities such as bad breath and being a prostitute as an example.

If you are a prostitute around typical Nigerians, they will question your sanity and self - esteem but it's left for the prostitute to develop a thick skin which is always the case anyway or explain what led her to it so as to make people around her to see reason with her; it could be an economic reason or psychological one. And guess what, some of people who would question her as to why a decision to go into prostitution might end proffering a solution. Tackling that point of HIV that was raised by u, the first thing that comes to normal and sane humans when they have any encounter with a confirmed prostitute is asking d prostitute if she has already been HIV tested or not.

All I said is that we should always try and look at things from objective perspective rather than tribal perspective.

All I am saying is that wise people do not ask foolish questions.Now that the thread has been created is the question being debated? Or ha it generated to something else. That was very easy for any person with sense to predict. All your rationalization serves no other purpose than vainglory. The fact is we are not answering or discussing the question here and we will not. This thread will only serve the purpose of hate and abuse.

Thank you Tunde Ajani for this. The mindset that politics is all about the winners take it all is dangerous. By your argument APC is already preparing marginalisation as food for the Igbo if Buhari wins. This is dangerous brother. What then do you tell our politicians Ngige, Onu, Rochas, Amaechi, Ezekwesili, Soludo (of recent) etc who are strong supporters of APC. You stand before these men and tell them that you are going to marginalise their people as had been the practice in the past and you think you are praising them. I'm happy that you alluded to massive work of GEJ in Yoruba land. Igbo is also witnessing same. I'm pushed to think that your dislike for GEJ is that for the first time the same massive work is being extended to Igbo territory.

But more than the massive works, Igbo support for GEJ stems from their quest for justice in our country Nigeria. When in informal setting we (Nigerians) complain about injustice in our national life, we assume that all of us, no matter our tribes, have the same meaning of justice and injustice. It is becoming clearer that people only talk of injustice in Nigeria when their own man is not on sit. The only people that have been consistent with their understanding of justice and injustice are the Igbo. The two of the three tripods upon which Nigeria stands are worried that Igbo, a major ethnic group is supporting an Ijaw, a minority. But why can't Ijaw be president? You said you would make country ungovernable for him and yet in such human contrived situation the young man is putting all his effort and yet you want him not to be supported.

I know that Ijaw (majority of them anyway) would never have supported Igbo if the table were to turn. Our experience of the civil war where tey led in the sabotage of Igbo effort is fresh in our minds. But an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

Why are u sticking to these bad eggs among the good ones if u r not part of them? Here in Europe, you ll see some of our brothers claiming that slavery was caused by our greedy and selfish forefathers who took advantage of their positions to sell their subjects into slavery but the funny thing is that these brothers and sisters are unconsciously selling their own fellow brothers and sisters to 21st century slavery by their every day actions at work. What I meant with this example is that you may be part of these bigoted few without knowing it.

Lol!!! It's quite easy for a debate to degenerate to tribal bashing when our words are not carefully chosen. To be honest, take a look at your write up and see your chosen words; why won't there be a tribal bashing and all that when you see other people opinions as being foolish?

We can't all be the same and for this singular reason, people who have different opinions or ideas to yours would always and continue to ask questions as to why some decision are taken by you. This does not mean that you are being bashed, they might wants to be well informed about your decision.

The biography is unnecessary.
There is a time and place for everything. This thread is misplaced and mistimed. Nairaland is not a place where sincere debates take place especially on subjects such as this.
So your sanctimonious posturing only draws my contempt. Either you are mischievous or even worse you ave no sense either way it is useless to me. There is not ,will not and was never going to be any debate on this thread. This is not the place or time for that. It is also a form of foolishness to say the right thing at the wrong time in the wrong place. It is better then to say nothing at all

Beamborla:
Seriously, this thread is uncalled for. It's really none of your business... let everyone fight for what they believe in... leave them to stick to what they want.. them insulting the Yorubas or Hausas wouldn't change anything about you or anyone out there.
You have just opened another avenue for every Tom Dick and Harry to come and start spitting fire and brinestone not leaving behind all the derogotary words they can think of on the Yoruba people and they would be justified cos you called for it.

Can't you just leave them alone already?

People are different really and by their føolishness (flute), we shall know them. He claimed Igbos are bigoted but shows how stüpid and bigoted he is. If we were all like you Beamborla, Nigeria wouldn't be so messed up like it is today. Thanks be to God that there are reasonable people like you in every tribe, so I wouldn't have to insult a whole tribe because of the insane and tribalistic people among them.

God will forever guide your part and always make you successful in whatever you do.

I find all these useless statements by some people really uncalled for.

So now Igbos are bigoted even tho the President and vice they are supporting are not Igbos?

So when a tribe refuses to play zombie to the deciet of APC, they are tagged bigoted?

Must the Igbos think like you?

I bet you will find it insulting when an Igbo person opens a silly and disgusting tribal bashing thread like this to smite your people but now that you opened it against the Igbos, its OK?

From what I can infere, Yorubas can be said to be supporting APC because of Osibanjo while Hausas/Fulanis are supporting APC because of Buhari. What you should have asked yourself is, will I have supported APC if the APC leader and vice presidential candidate are all Igbos while the presidential candidate is from Kogi state?

Don't claim others are similar to you. If you are bigoted, its left for you to deal with rather than vent your hate and bigotry on another tribe.

OP you need help.

There are thousands of Yorubas supporting GEJ too, is a Yoruba man running for President or VP in PDP?

Now i want to ask this, why are majority of the Yoruba people supporting GMB? And the few supporting GEJ, are they shallow minded like you people claim Igbos are?
We currently do not have an Igbo man in the ruling and opposition party, we chose the one who we feel is better than the other and you people are still claiming we're bigoted.
We Igbos don't see GMB as a Messiah like you people see him, we see/take him for who he is, a TYRANT surrounded by bunch of corrupt political crooks.
Facts are there for all to see, yet we keep a blind eye and expect other people from other tribes to do the same.

The question here should be, do "Buhari supporters have a future with the kind of blind support they have for him"?

How do you know majority of Yorubas are supporting GMB, when Fayose, Fani and co.. already told you that millions of Yorubas will vote GEJ.
Dont be naive, the same corrupt political crooks voted massively for GEJ in 2011.
